Dominick Cruz Expects Surgery on Injured Hand, Out for At Least 4 Months

UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz was successful in his latest title defense where he bested Demetrious Johnson by unanimous decision at UFC on Versus 6.

Early in the fight, Cruz actually broke his hand but didn’t bother to tell anyone because he didn’t want it to sound like an excuse.

Now he’s talking about the injury because he will likely undergo surgery similar to what he had on his other hand, and he’s probably going to be on the shelf for upwards of 4 months.

Cruz speaks exclusively to MMAWeekly.com about the injury, rehab, who he’s picking between Urijah Faber and Brian Bowles, and what he thinks of the potential match-up between Joseph Benavidez and Demetrious Johnson.
